Spring Break 2009

The fam and I ventured down to Anaheim, Cali for a few days of diSNeY mANiA! We had such a blast! We stayed at the luxurious Double Tree, who by the way have the most delicious beds I have ever slept on! We park hopped between Disneyland and California Adventure many times a day - amongst all our hoppin we also: ate several Mickey Mouse chocolate ice cream bars, rode the Tower of Terror, sang "Yo Ho, Yo Ho a Pirates Life for Me", met Mickey Mouse, ate hot dogs from the "Award Weiners Hot Dog Stand", got sunburnt, spent 80 bucks on LUNCH one day at some Mexican place in the park, stood in line for one hour to ride the flippin' Finding Nemo submarine ride, stood in line to go the bathroom, chased Allie/Andrew around the park while they were bursting with energy at 8 at night, ate McDonalds for breakfast every single day, rode the Tower of Terror at least ONCE every day we were there, obsessed over the NIGHTMARE store, bought stupid souvenirs we will never use again, ate multiple pineapple spears, churros, and drank COKE all day long, oh yeah, and I also celebrated my 21st birthday while we were down there.

It was a great trip over all! We all got some sun, lots of souvenirs, and I came back with Vertigo...not fun. Oh well...I plan to return to the happiest (and most EXPENSIVE) place on earth, very soon!

Summer Bucket List 2009

I've got a FEVER and the only prescription is SUMMER 2009! Yes folks, today I drove to campus with my windows rolled down and had "FOREVER" by Chris Brown blasting from the speakers. The time has come for shorts, flip flops, living by the pool, sunscreen, late nights, bonfires, etc.

Shippen and I have complied a list of things we're going to accomplish this summer...

- Run a 5K
- Hike Mt. Timpanogos
- Take a road trip
- Visit every temple in Utah (do baptisms)
- Go Fishing
- Visit the Zoo
- BBQ's, Bonfires up P-Canyon
- Hike Stewart Falls
- Take a photography class
- Visit Timpanogos Cave
- Take a cake decorating class
- Sew a skirt
- Learn a new craft
- Go Camping
This is quite a list, but I am sure we'll accomplish it ALL! If anybody has any fun ideas or things they enjoy doing in the summer, LET ME KNOW! I like to hear about other people's ideas of summer fun!

Be Thou an Example

"Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." (1 Timothy 4:12)

That scripture is the theme for EFY 2009.

I am happy to announce that I am going to be an EFY counselor this summer with this youth program. I turned in all my final paperwork yesterday - the next step is deciding how many weeks I want to work this summer. I hope to work at least one week a month during the summer (May-August) so we will see. :)

Rexburg, Ephraim, SLC, Logan, Provo, or Las Vegas...here I come!

busy busy busy

Well it's been almost one month since I have posted anything to my blog --- my sweet friends chastised me on Saturday for my lack of blogging updates. In my defense I must say that my life has been pretty busy.

I have priorities and they are as follows (in no particular order):

#1) Work
#2) School
#3) Family
#4) Working Out
#5) Church/Calling
#6) Friends
#7) Social Life
#8) Dating
#9) Reading
#10) MISC activities, events, last-minute things, etc.
#11) blogging...
I have been consumed with work, school, homework, working out, dating, friends, my calling in my ward, reading my scriptures, playing rockband, running, reading several books (The Holy Temple, BOM, Interiors, Breaking Dawn, Believing Christ), WORKING full time, etc, etc, etc. I know I am not the only busy person in the world - but I promise that I will be better at blogging. Promise. Maybe my life will get more interesting, and less busy? Joke. It's not going to.
